Almost a year has passed since the municipal elections, and we are asking the Prague city councilors for transportation from Prague 1 to Prague 22 about their plans regarding cycling transportation. We continue with the city district of Prague 12, which has 56,000 inhabitants and includes Modřany, Komořany, Kamýk, and Točná. Lenka Vedralová, the transportation councilor for ANO 2011, responds to our written inquiries.
Are there plans for building new cycling paths in the upcoming years? Our readers would like to see, for example, a cycling path along the Lhotecký stream in Modřany.
Currently, new cycling paths are being discussed (in the areas of Cholupický vrch, Modřany, and Točná). The cycling path along the Lhotecký stream has not been identified yet. We will assess its priority as part of the survey.
Do you plan to improve permeability for bike passage, for example, through contraflow bike lanes?
Yes, of course, we continuously strive to improve conditions for all participants in traffic. We do not have good experiences with introducing contraflow bike lanes, so we permit them only in cases where local conditions allow and there is a logical connection to bike trails or paths.
Is there a plan to add more bike racks?
We are gradually adding bike racks, taking into account the requests of citizens.
Are you aiming for a denser network of shared bikes?
The idea of bikesharing is interesting and beneficial in many situations. With the experiences we currently have, we are not actively pursuing a denser network. The service needs to be more developed first. After that, we will be happy to collaborate on extending the network.
How else do you plan to improve conditions for cycling in your district?
We are constantly addressing safety and improving conditions for cycling. Since not all cycling paths are under the administration of Prague 12, it is not in our power to improve conditions everywhere.
Which change in the current electoral period will most positively impact pedestrian and cycling transportation in your city district?
The most significant impact will come from the construction of the Modřanský Cukrovar, where the area around the river and the existing path will be revitalized.
Which foreign city serves as inspiration for you in the field of transportation?
Paris, Barcelona, the Netherlands.
Do you ever travel through the city by bike? Why or why not?
Yes, we use bikes for transportation. One is not bound by public transport schedules (especially in more peripheral areas). Particularly during peak hours, using a bike is often more advantageous and faster. The challenging terrain of Prague, especially for longer distances, and the weather could be potential drawbacks.
Do you follow our magazine?
No, we learned about it only after receiving your inquiry.
